I'm looking to buy a new desktop computer for around £1.1k. At the moment I don't have enough money to buy a second gpu, so if I only select one gpu on the website, will it come with a bridge anyway or would I have to find one on the internet?

If your motherboard supports it and comes with it then you should.

Yes,that is correct but I know the Asus M5A97:AM3+ doesn't indicate Crossfire in the tittle but it supports crossfire. I'd suggest you email PCS once you place your order to make sure they include the SLI/Crossfire bridge with your order but I am certain they will.

No worries, I always check the manufacturers website as well just to verify the information, for peace of mind Originally Posted by Jbridgiee

you should always get a bridge with your mobo BUT they didn't pack mine in to the welcome pack so i had to phone up & request it , but if its radeon cards you are dueling up , don't worry almost all makers of radeon cards supply one with the card anyway - Nvidia on the other hand is a different story , they never supply one so you will NEED the one that comes with your mobo if going down the Nvidia route
